Check-Script: infofiles Author: Josip Rodin Abbrev: info Type: binary Needs-Info: unpacked, file-info, index Info: This script checks if a binary package conforms to info document policy. Tag: info-document-not-compressed Severity: important Certainty: certain Info: Info documents should be compressed with gzip -9. Ref: policy 12.2 Tag: info-document-not-compressed-with-gzip Severity: important Certainty: certain Info: Info documents should be compressed with gzip -9. This file ends in .gz but doesn't appear to be a gzip-compressed file. Ref: policy 12.2 Tag: info-document-not-compressed-with-max-compression Severity: important Certainty: certain Info: Info documents should be compressed with gzip -9. This file is compressed with gzip, but without using maximum compression. Ref: policy 12.2 Tag: info-document-has-wrong-extension Severity: normal Certainty: certain Info: The info document has an extension other than info*.gz. Tag: info-document-missing-dir-section Severity: important Certainty: certain Info: This info document has no INFO-DIR-SECTION line. install-info will be unable to determine the section into which this info page should be put. The best solution is to add a line like: . @dircategory Development . to the texinfo source so that the generated info file will contain a section. See /usr/share/info/dir for sections to choose from. You will have to ensure that the build process builds new info files rather than using ones built by upstream. Tag: info-document-missing-dir-entry Severity: important Certainty: certain Info: This info document has no directory entry. This is text between START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY lines which is copied into the dir file in /usr/share/info by install-info. The best solution is to add lines like: . @direntry * foo: (foo). Foo creator and editor @end direntry . to the texinfo source so that the generated info file will contain an appropriate entry. You will have to ensure that the build process builds new info files rather than using ones built by upstream. Tag: missing-dependency-on-install-info Severity: normal Certainty: possible Info: This package appears to contain at least one info document but does not depend on dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info as recommended by Policy. This dependency is needed for the transition to triggerized install-info to correctly build the info directory during partial upgrades from lenny. Ref: policy 12.2
